Fabulous Food Friday #104

I've made meatballs in the past and have fail miserably. When I saw this recipe over at Tasty Kitchen, there was just something about it that made me want to give it another try. I am sure glad I did, because they are good. I mean, reeeeeeaaally good! Give them a try and let me know what you think!

Place 2 cups of sauce into an 8x8 baking dish. Roll mixture into 1 inch balls, about 1 tablespoon of mixture. Place into baking dish. Once all are rolled, sprinkle with extra cheese and Panko crumbs. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until meatballs are browned nicely and sauce is bubbly. Serve over noodle with more sauce.
